Chapter 12: Emiya Family, Emiya Kiritsugu
Accompanying Zouken Matou, who was cosplaying as a kindly old grandfather, he had a casual conversation with her.

Jianchen Matou walked up the stairs and returned to his room.

It was early winter and the heating was on in the room, making it as warm as early summer.

Jianchen Jianchen likes this kind of warm feeling very much. But there is another kind of warmth that the air conditioner can't compare to.

After taking a quick hot shower, Jianchen Matou lowered the temperature in the room. After the bed became warm, he simply turned off the air conditioner that supplied heat.

In the huge Matou family, only the warm bed can bring him warmth.

After finding a comfortable position, he gently closed his eyes.

The simulator is still on the checkout page.

[Rating: F]

[Comment: You put all your chips on the Servant, which is obviously not what a mature magician should do. ]

[Settlement: Learn from your mistakes and gain a small amount of resentment towards the servant. ]

……

Even though a long time had passed, when he saw the things related to the last simulation again, Jianchen Matou still felt a brain congestion.

After taking two deep breaths, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

Start the simulation.

[Unconsciously, you have lived in this strange world for two days. 】

[On the fourteenth night, as if by fate, Matou Zouken took you to the underground wormhole and began to teach you magic. Without your knowledge, the zodiac worm was placed deep in your heart, and you did not resist.]

[You were prepared this time. When you saw Sakura Tousaka, you were touched in your heart, but you couldn't see it on the surface.]

[The plan went as planned. With the help of your deskmate Rin Toosaka, you successfully summoned a Servant on the rooftop of the elementary school. Matou Zouken was defeated in one move.]

[Tousaka Aoi's loyal dog, Matou Kariya, has returned to the Matou family. You took him in after letting him see the majesty of the seventh-generation head of the Matou family.]

[There is peace in the Matou family. You choose...]

[1. Go to the secret room and let the servant know what a master is! 2. In a pleasant atmosphere, you should eat hot pot and sing songs! 3. Seek help from allies; 4. Free simulation. ]

Inside the warm bed, Jianchen Matou had his eyes slightly closed.

The contents of the simulator appeared clearly in his mind.

Looking at the different options from the previous simulation, he guessed that the options would change based on some reasons.

Option 2 is definitely not an option, as his Matou family has been loyal and martyred twice!

Option three seemed very reliable, and his best ally, Emperor Iskandar the Great, could definitely protect his safety from Kiritsugu Emiya's attack.

Therefore,
After careful consideration, Jianchen Matou chose option one.

[The peaceful atmosphere in the Matou family does not interfere with your ambition as the seventh generation head of the Matou family. You went to the Matou family's secret room. All of Matou Zouken's hundreds of years of accumulation now belonged to you. Looking at the dazzling array of magic knowledge, you laughed excitedly.]

[With the memories of your past life, you clearly know what the Matou family or the Machiri family are really good at! ]

[You searched through the secret room and finally found the magic to create the Command Spell, but this magic is extremely difficult to learn. Even if you are a genius picked out of a million, you can't learn it in a short time.]

[While reading about the knowledge of the Command Spells, you found a piece of magic knowledge that might be helpful to you, and you wrote it down.]

[You failed to implement your plan, you chose...]

[1. Seek help from allies; 2. What the hell is the Holy Grail War? Run! 3. Face the upcoming attack head-on; 4. Free simulation. ]

Is that really the case?

Looking at the options appearing in the simulator, Jianchen Matou confirmed his inner thoughts.

The options in the simulator are not fixed, but change according to his thoughts.

After a moment's hesitation, he firmly chose option two.

[You are deeply tired of the fighting in the Holy Grail War. You only watched anime in your previous life. Although you don’t understand the use of that broken cup, you know that it is not a good thing.]

[You choose to leave your hometown and go to a mysterious oriental country across the ocean. You think that with your excellent "foreign language", you will be able to live happily there.] [You bring your sister Sakura and your cheap uncle Matou Kariya.]

[Sakura, who was abandoned by her parents, regards you as her only support, and you love her very much. As for Matou Kariya, you only plan to train him to be a butler. Before that, it is right for him to be your slave.]

[Your beautiful dream was shattered very quickly. When you arrived at the airport and hadn't sat down to rest yet, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was always keeping an eye on you, was on a tall building, calmly observing you through the telescope of his sniper rifle.]

[Sakura is acting coquettishly towards you, and you smile happily, planning to marry Sakura after leaving Fuyuki and settling down in an eastern country.]

[The bullet flew through the air, and was supposed to hit your head, but because of Sakura's coquettish behavior, it changed, and Emiya Kiritsugu killed both of them with one shot. ]

[You fell on the ground filled with blood, your blood mixed with the cherry blossoms, your eyes were full of regret, you were angry at yourself for dying so slowly, but fortunately, as your life faded away, you slowly regained some consciousness.]

[You performed your magic trick, blue-purple butterflies flew above you, you watched them quietly, and they flew towards your brain. You committed suicide, and your body turned into a group of butterflies, covering Sakura's body.]

[End of simulation]

[Rating: F]

[Comment: You chose to escape the Holy Grail War without careful consideration.]

[Settlement: As the head of the family, under your leadership, the family has experienced three exterminations, and you are awarded the title of "A Family of Loyal and Brave People"]

【Do you choose to wear it? 】

[If you haven't selected anything for a long time, you will automatically be given the title "A Family of Loyal Martyrs"]

[A family full of loyal heroes: their souls rest together, and the bond with their family members is deepened imperceptibly. 】

……

……

Pain, uncontrollable heartache.

Even though it was just words, Jianchen Matou still felt his heart twitching.

He clenched his hands and his eyes widened. Before he could do anything, a pain spread from his brain to his whole body and he fainted.

The next day, early in the morning.

Matou Kenshin opened his eyes on the bed, calmly dressed and washed, calmly went downstairs to have dinner with Matou Zouken, calmly went to school, and calmly sat in his seat in the classroom in a daze.

Ding-ling, ding-ling, the school bell rang.

Jianchen Matou still had a numb expression, and only the slight movement of his chest due to breathing proved that he was still alive.

Lin, who was beside him, looked at him with some concern.

However, Rin did not disturb him. She knew that Jianchen Matou did not need anyone to disturb him now.

Time passed second by second. When Lin was thinking about whether to remind Jianchen Matou not to forget to eat, a girl who looked somewhat similar to her but was more beautiful than her came bouncing towards her.

"Sister, Brother Jianchen, what's wrong with you? Are you waiting for Ying to eat?"

The girl's voice is lively, cute and full of vigorous vitality.

"Oh, yes. Sakura, let's eat together."

The first expression other than calmness that Jianchen Matou showed today was a smile.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Ying looked at Jianchen Matou with some concern, "It seems that he is a little..."

Rin interrupted Sakura with her arm, but Matou Kenshin shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, Rin, everything will be over, right."

He stayed quietly in school until school was over. Today, Jianchen Jiantou did not conduct any simulations at school.

After accompanying the sisters of the Tosaka family to the school gate and watching them being taken home by Kotomine Kirei.

He walked back home alone in silence and had dinner with Matou Zouken.

After washing up, Jianchen Jiantong lay on the bed.

“Emiya Kiritsugu…”
